Campaign themes
2014
Anderson's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Education
- Excerpt: "Toby Anderson’s goals as State Representative are to support our teachers, restore as much funding as possible and make smart decisions about how that money is spent in order to grow programs that work and remove waste in the system."
Budget
- Excerpt: "Toby believes education is one of the best tools we have to modernize and grow both Pennsylvania’s economy but also increase prosperity and the quality of life for all. We need to invest in education, not dismantle education."
Teachers
- Excerpt: "Toby’s mission is to put education back into the creative hands of Pennsylvania’s highly qualified, caring, professionals by restoring funding and allowing teachers to be innovative in the classroom. By teaching with state-of-the-art equipment and providing an avenue for curious minds to grow, as well as giving students more opportunities, our new generation will be equipped to face future challenges."
Economy
- Excerpt: "Rural America has been hit hard by recession and urbanization. In order to preserve our way of life, we need occupations that will provide our hard working residents with decent pay and benefits that not only will keep our residents in our communities, but will also bring in new residents. Toby plans to work with local, state, and federal representatives in growing our economy and creating jobs."
Farm Bill
- Excerpt: "The proposed 2013 Farm Bill has federal funds for rural development. Toby would urge our federal government to bring that money into our area. Mr. Anderson will prove to other state legislators and our Congressional Representatives that WE ARE WORTH THE INVESTMENT."
